A/N: I promised an update at 25 reviews, didn't I? Well here it is. I think I should explain what I meant by asking people to review the last chapter, well actually bribing people to review. It is my opinion that if you bother to take the time out of your day to read something that you could spare a few more seconds to tell them what you think. Even if you hate it. But that is my opinion. I will not be bribing for reviews again. Anyway now on with the story.

Review Replies:

em - I am updating sooner. I keep my word. You're right, it is H/R.

sergeantstan - Firstly, thank you so much for reviewing. I'm updating. I just felt like injuring it. But while I like hurting characters I do not kill them. Maybe I should give them meninjicocal's - they hurt (I had the 3rd one today, I have proof).

Nia - Sorry, it isn't. I said that a while ago. I have to say I despise that pairing… no offence.

Lutefa - Yes, I am. You mean the ingofow card thingy? My play on words, that was. We have what are called cashflow cards in NZ, or EFTPOS, you do have eftpos in USA don't you? Not that I would know. Rob Hall… I've heard of him. He climbed Everest with Peter Hillary, didn't he? I know that Sir Edmund Hillary is a kiwi. What kiwi doesn't know that? No, Root can't be dead, he's one of my favourite characters.

Stephi - Thanks and I am. TroubleHolly is not the pairing.

artyssmarty - Updating. Thanks.

IamME13 - I am updating. Thanks.

---- - Yes I do. Updating. Thanks.

-anon-anon-anon- - Yes, to my eternal shame I was not exactly awake and getting very annoyed at people who read and didn't review. I think it gets a little more OOC at the end. Wait… how did you know that was the pairing? I was revealing that this chapter.

lalalalala - My bad, I opened my email inbox and had four reviews waiting for me. Whoopsies. I am updating as soon as I find out I have 25 reviews.

Chapter Five

'We just got back the results of the LEP's once a century blood tests. Oh Frond how can I say this?' Neither Holly nor Trouble had ever seen Commander Root so stressed. 'Holly, you won't know this, but before he met your mum your dad went out with a lovely young woman. He, ummm, he fathered one of her two children. I don't know if I'm really the right person to tell you this, but you have a half brother.'

Holly sat there stunned. She really did look like she would throw up. She had lost a lot of blood and had now been told she had a half brother. Trouble wondered why he had to be there. Was he there for moral support or something?

'Holly,' Holly looked up, totally dumbfounded, 'the woman's name, it was Emiline Kelp.'

Holly and Trouble's mouths fell open. Both realised what this meant. They were half siblings.

'And Grub?' Troubled managed to choke out.

'He's your half brother Trouble.'

'Well that explains a lot.' Everyone in the room laughed feebly.

'I need to go home,' announced Holly, standing up.

'Seconded,' said Trouble.

'No. Foaly, you go. Trouble you can too if you wish. Or you can stay with Holly, if she wishes. Holly is staying here. I still want to talk to her.'

'Just leave her alone,' burst out Trouble. 'You did not send her on this assignment just to criticise her. I might only just of found out she's my sister, but she has always been my mate, I won't let you treat her like this.'

'Calm down Kelp. I just need to talk to her about a very serious matter.' I can't believe it, he thought, I do everything in my power to keep her safe, I care so much about her, yet everyone seems to think I hate her. I don't, honest.

'Trouble, it's cool. I'll stay,' said Holly as she slid back into her chair.

'I'll stay then.'

'Bye Foaly,' hinted Commander Root.

'Oh fine, bye.'

'Good, now we have got rid of him.' The three occupants of the room chuckled.

'Joking over, Captain, I want to talk to you about a very serious matter.'

'And that is sir?' said Holly, her voice cold.

'Why you didn't ask Kelp to heal your leg when you knew it would weaken you.'

'Well sir…'

'And don't try to tell me that you didn't know it was there. The pain sensor was nearly off the scale, and I tried to tell you and you interrupted me.'

'Well…'

'I'm waiting Holly.'

'Fine, if you must know because I'm not weak enough to ask for help for a cut, when I know I can help myself later.'

'Weakness Holly, weakness. Do I have to send you to see the councillor? This isn't about being weak. You proved you weren't weak when you got into recon, and all you have done since you got in is try to prove that you are stronger than the men. You have endangered your own life and that of your colleagues may times trying to be tough…'

'But I don't…' he held up his hand to silence her.

'You need to learn to trust your team mates Holly, you need to learn to trust yourself. You are not weak. Another episode like this and I will be sending you to the councillor. No arguments. You may go home tonight.'

With that Commander Root slumped into his chair, he looked defeated. They both decided not to try and push their luck and exited the room silently.

'You're coming home with me Holly,' said Trouble as soon as they exited the room.

'What? No.'

'I'm not trying to be a pervert. You look like you are going to keel over any minute now. And besides, can't I care for my sister? Plus I live across the hall from you.'

'Fine, I'll come.'

'Good little sister.'

'Less of the little business please.'

'Sorry.'

'Our shifts ended ten minutes ago. Let's leave.'

The two of them signed out of police plaza and walked home together. Trouble with a steady hand on Holly's elbow.

'You don't have to be this nice to me just because we're related.'

'But I want to Hols, and besides, we were mates before now, what's changed, apart from the fact that I no longer wonder why I'm not attracted to such a beautiful girl as you?'

'No one's going to wonder how I can be mates with you and not fancy you.'

'True,' laughed Trouble, 'but other than that, I still care for you.'

'Come into my place for some coffee, O.K.'

'Fine Trub.'

They sat and watched a show on television that they both liked. It was a mud man show called Motorway Patrol, and it had traffic cops from a country called New Zealand. They both liked this programme, for obvious reasons. They also liked Police Ten 7 as both were totally addicted to their jobs.

A/N: I hope everyone knows what the pairing is now. Considering that it is on the summary and I said that I cannot stand ArtyHolly. Anyway thank you for reading and please review.
